Dressed up in a Chrome 8mm Euro Premium Double Twist.
I cut the tenon on these so a small section of the Twist Holder Flange is exposed below the center band rather than have it hidden inside the center band.
Sanded 400 grit only, buffed with extra fine steel wool and polished with Hut Ultra Gloss.

Nice work, Les! I do like this blank, and is one I sell a lot of in my pens. Coincidently, I made a Zeta and an Epsilon from it this morning. If piccies come out OK I will put them up later in case they give you fresh ideas.

Nice blank, nice kit and well executed Les.

Thanks again for posting your finishing regime, it's probably saved me some cash on buying fancy abrasives I don't really need. :winking:

It does look good Les, but this kit doesn't do it for me anymore, Premium or Standard .. Taking nothing away from the quality of the finished article my friend .. :thumbs:
